As the helmsman of the wildly-successful Skulduggery Pleasant series, Derek Landy exchanged a life as a sometime writer of screenplays to, almost overnight, becoming one of the world’s biggest names in children’s fiction. Debuting in 2007, Skulduggery Pleasant took its readers on a wild ride to the undead, where the niece of a famous horror writer suddenly discovers that what he was writing wasn’t so fictional after all. With a tone that treated its young readers with respect and intelligence, Landy quickly established an appreciative legion of fans. In 2015, Landy briefly stepped away from his Skulduggery duties to pen a fresh trilogy for young adults, Demon Road, and as something of a Whovian, contributed a tale to the Doctor Who collection 12 Doctors 12 Stories.
Valkyrie Cain's chances of survival are looking slight in the eighteenth blockbuster instalment of Landy's bestselling series, as an island of sorcerers, a terrorist organisation and her own sister wreak otherworldly havoc.
